We began the migration to Cerner in January 2017 in what will be a year-long process from the initial on-site visit to Go-Live. So far, it has been a great experience with a few bumps along the way. I am mostly responsible for setting up A/V in meeting rooms for the daily WebEx meetings, making sure everyone is in the right place for said meetings, and making sure deadlines are met on time. In addition to, setting up all meeting rooms for roughly 50 employees, who needed computers and video monitors for the Cerner folks to present from so that my users could acclimate themselves to the program in real time. We just completed Super User training and after a few late nights, everyone was able to complete the week-long training with few headaches (aside from a laptop being doused in coffee). At the time of this writing, we are still 28 weeks out and preparing for Integration Testing 1 in a month, or so. I will update again as time progresses.

**UPDATE**

We have now been live for roughly 6 months and the project is still ongoing and ever-changing in order to tweak the things we need for everyday functionality. However, the various departments and management have come together and embraced the change along with the wonderful management team that we have on the Cerner side that handles our trouble tickets and other various situations that arise. The IT Director and I have become the main points of contact for things that are Cerner related. I have taken over the new user setup, assigning permissions, and any other situations/issues that arise. I am grateful for the opportunity to continue this learning process and gain knowledge that will benefit me now and in the future.
